About this ebook
“Bloodknots is a truly singular and remarkable book of stories. Lyrical and disturbing, this is the work of a writer of unmistakable talent.”—Joan Silber, author of Ideas of Heaven, a National Book Award nominee
“Bloodknots is a marvelous collection peopled by unforgettable characters.”—Nalini Warriar, author of Blues from the Malabar Coast and a McAuslan Book Award winner
A collection of beguiling stories from an American writer who excels at depicting the family ties that bind: fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters whose connections to one another are as fragile as they are irrevocable. Stubbornly honest, and imbued with a sensibility that speaks to the author’s Jewish heritage, Ami Sands Brodoff writes with authority, passion, and razor-sharp detail about identity and the longing for human connections in the face of loss and exclusion. Her stories evoke the delicate familial weaves of Alice Munro, exposing the raw nerves of shattered lives redeemed by the willingness to forgive. Written close to the senses, Bloodknots penetrates to the core.
Ami Sands Brodoff is from New York and also lived in Princeton, New Jersey, before relocating with her husband to Montreal, where she writes and teaches creative writing. Her work has received a Pushcart Prize nomination and has been anthologized in numerous journals and book collections. Her first book, Can You See Me?, received wide acclaim, including a rave from Publishers Weekly.
